THE END OF a GREAT STRIKE

THE END OF A GREAT STRIKE.
One of the most stubborn of the recent
contests between employers and employees
was that between the shoe manufacturers of
Worcester county, Massachusetts, and their
workmen, which is now practically at an
end It has lasted five months The trouble
first arose from question of prices, but the
manufacturers, irritated by what seemed to
them unwarrantable interference with their
business by the Lasters' union and the
Knights of Labor: put up in their shops no.
tices to the effect that thenceforth they
would employ only such workmen as would
agree to deal individually with the firm. The
Lasters' union and the Knights of Labor of
course protested vigorously against this and
the long fight began.
The result is pretty complete victory for
the manufacturers. AS time went on they
found many woIkmen to take tie places of
those who went out, or were locked out, and
to some extent new machinery was intro
duced, by the use of which fewer workmen
were required to accomplish the same results
attained before by larger number. The
idle wo1kmen conducted themselves well,
and were assisted by contributions from their
organizations. But it is said that there has
been much suffering among them. Matters
came to point day Or two ago where the
Knights of Labor gave them notice that they
could contribute to their support no longer,
and advised them to look out for themselves.
This, of course, destroys the influence of the
Knights of Labor in Worcester county. Says
the Spy: If they had given way on a ques-
ton of wages or sharp regulations the prin-
ciple of the organization would be untouched,
but when they advise the workmen to make
individual agreements with their employers,
they give up the very basis on which their
association rests. The Lasters' union holds
out while longer, but its members can have
little hope of accomplishing anything. The
manufacturers have for some time been do
ing nearly as much work as usual, and will
now have no difficulty in employing all the
help they need. The strike has been an en-
tire failure.
The affair is sad but instructive one. 1t
is another forcible illustration of the truth
that strikes are not often profitable.

CONMUNICATIONS.
Brass Bands and Sacred Concerts,

Brass bands and Sacred Concerts
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
If the proposition to have band on Eas-
Rock during the summer had been accompa
MED by another proposition to provide horses
and carriages to convey people to its summit
it might be well enough, but to expect ordi-
nary humanity to climb East Rock to hear a
brass band at a season when most people
prefer to enjoy the cooling breezes of Long
Island Sound seems like imposing on good
nature. Let us remember that there is a
point beyond which forbearance ceases to be
a virtue.
But seriously, those who speak of sacred
concerts and brass band would do well to
look for the meaning of the word 'saered"
and then tell US which of the clergymen will
be engaged to conduct divine service, for this
is the primary meaning of the word ''sacred. !"
A brass band is good thing in its place. It
is martial, military and warlike. 1t may do
for the Salvation army, but the great major.
ity of Christians prefer another style of
music. "Peace hath her victories no less
than war; We prefer that the Sabbath
should remind Of him who was the "Won-
derful Counsellor, the Mighty God, the
Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace"
